Miranda Lambert Set to Headline the Cowboys' Thanksgiving Halftime Show

Miranda Lambert will perform at the Dallas Cowboys' Thanksgiving Day halftime show, the team announced on its official website. The performance is the 30th annual Thanksgiving halftime show the Cowboys have staged.

The game is against the Philadelphia Eagles on Nov. 26 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. It starts at 3:30 p.m. Central Time (CT), and FOX will broadcast the halftime show.

The segment has an official name: the Salvation Army Red Kettle Kickoff Halftime Show. The Salvation Army's Red Kettle Campaign is the charity drive that collects donations in the familiar red kettle stands, usually seen outside shops in the run-up to the end of the year. The kickoff is marking its 30th anniversary, and the campaign has raised more than $3.4 billion over the past three decades, according to Billboard.

The show has featured country stars before. Reba McEntire headlined the first one in 1997. Dolly Parton performed in 2023. Lambert's name now joins that list, and the Cowboys have published a video titled "Miranda Lambert Red Kettle Kickoff | Thanksgiving Halftime" to promote the set.

For anyone planning to watch, the halftime show comes in the break between the first and second halves of the game. It is a short set, but it is one of the few moments when a Thanksgiving crowd in the stadium and a television audience at home see the same performance at the same time.

Further details about the set list and the length of the performance have not yet been released.
